The Coggin Copa Teardrop Invert is a classic Hawaiian-style marlin lure with a heavy, double-tapered teardrop head that carries most of its mass forward before sweeping back into a narrower skirt saddle. Its inverted, concave face and jet configuration give it a very aggressive surface action, allowing the lure to dig, smoke, and throw a thick bubble trail while still tracking straight in a wide range of sea conditions. In the water, the lure has a rhythmic “pop-and-dive” cycle — it grabs water with the cupped face, dives just beneath the surface, then resurfaces with a burst of bubbles and smoke that imitates a fleeing tuna or mackerel. The shape also creates a strong side-to-side hunting motion without blowing out, making it especially effective for blue marlin on the long corner or short rigger positions where it can stay visible and active in the spread.
Recommendations: Hook size 10-11 / Leader 400-600
